Turkey, Apple & Sweet Potato Meatballs

Kids can be really picky. Vegetables and fruits sometimes get tossed by the wayside on those picky days. Sweet as my kids are, the aren’t always sweet about what I try to feed them. I just have to hide veggies and fruit in their food so they will eat it. I hid vegetables in pasta sauces and fruit smoothies. I saw a version of this recipe in a cookbook meant for children, and decided to try it. I usually don’t make any recipe according to the directions, so this is version of the original.

They actually watched me make these meatballs, and still ate them up.

This is a great recipe that should work as a finger food for your toddler as well as a dinner for your whole family. Finding a recipe for everyone can sometimes be difficult, but this one is really good. Serve with rice or pasta and a vegetable side.

Mix all ingredients together. Swirl about 2 tbsp olive oil in a dutch oven or nonstick pan. Make meatballs and place them in the hot pan. Watch to make sure they don’t burn on the bottom. Flip the meatballs and add in a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce. I ususally make my own, which I will share in the future. Put a top on the pan and let cook for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
